This book is my memoir. Recollections of my life in Israel between the ages 4 and 12 form the core of my story. It begins with scant information about my ancestry that was gleaned from my parents, my one and only first cousin, as well as the few remaining more distant relatives. That my mother was born in Oradea, Romania is an immutable fact. My father's birth certificate clearly registers the event in Reteag, Romania. Their common language was Hungarian. That their common communication was not Romanian muddies the search only a little but must be taken into account. That broadened the scope of my search for family. We visited the Doh ny Street Synagogue and the Wallenberg Jewish Foundation in Budapest, a few years ago. We could not find any references in the archives to a Hirsch or Braun family. Examining tombstones in Jewish burial grounds was equally frustrating. Two years later, we visited Jewish sites in Berlin. In the Holocaust Memorial, The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, I found clear reference to my father's family in the small town of B k scsaba in Eastern Hungary. B k scsaba is on the border with Romania, about fifty miles from my mother's ancestral home, Oradea. At this time, I cannot reconcile locating Hirsch families in B k scsaba, Hungary, and Reteag, Romania. Both towns are equidistant from Oradea. It seems likely that my father could have courted my mother from either place back in the mid 1930s. The continuing quest for my ancestry should focus on B k scsaba, Reteag, and Oradea. As the span of years lengthens from the time of the great twentieth century Holocaust, the tracks of my ancestors will fade and disappear. Perhaps one of our many descendants will take up the torch and search for their forebears, scattered and murdered in the Holocaust. In a way, this memoir and others like it should discourage those who would seek to exterminate Jews, again. Were it not for the pluck of Sigismund (Simcha) and Magdalena (Miriam) Hirsch (z"l), my recounting would be a myth.

The author argues for the continued importance of NGOs, social movements and other 'civil society' actors in creating new forms of citizenship and democracy in South Africa. Critics of liberalism in Europe and North America argue that a stress on 'rights talk' and identity politics has led to fragmentation, individualisation and depoliticisation. But are these developments really signs of 'the end ofpolitics'? In the post-colonial, post-apartheid, neo-liberal new South Africa poor and marginalised citizens continue to struggle for land, housing and health care. They must respond to uncertainty and radical contingencies on a daily basis. This requires multiple strategies, an engaged, practised citizenship, one that links the daily struggle to well organised mobilisation around claiming rights. Robins argues for the continued importance of NGOs, socialmovements and other 'civil society' actors in creating new forms of citizenship and democracy. He goes beyond the sanitised prescriptions of 'good governance' so often touted by development agencies. Instead he argues for a complex, hybrid and ambiguous relationship between civil society and the state, where new negotiations around citizenship emerge. Steven L. Robins is Professor of Social Anthropology in the University of Stellenbosch and editorof Limits to Liberation after Apartheid (James Currey).

This book, geared towards both students and professionals, examines the synthesis of artificial intelligence (AI) and psychology in detecting mis-/disinformation in digital media content, and suggests practical means to intervene and curtail this current global ‘infodemic’. This interdisciplinary book explores technological, psychological, philosophical, and linguistic insights into the nature of truth and deception, trust and credibility, cognitive biases and logical fallacies and how, through AI and human intervention, content users can be alerted to the presence of deception. The author investigates how AI can mimic the procedures and know-hows of humans, showing how AI can help spot fakes and how AI tools can work to debunk rumors and fact-check. The book describes how AI detection systems work and how they fit with broader societal and individual concerns. Each chapter focuses attention on key concepts and their inter-connection. The first part of the book seeks theoretical footing to understand our interactions with new information and reviews relevant empirical findings in behavioral sciences. The second part is about applied knowledge. The author looks at several known practices that guard us against deception, and provides several real-world examples of manipulative persuasive techniques in advertising, political propaganda, and public relations. She provides links to the downloadable executable files to three AI applications (clickbait, satire, and falsehood detectors) via LiT.RL GitHub, an open access repository. The book is useful to students and professionals studying AI and media studies as well as library and information professionals.Examines how artificial intelligence (AI) and psychology can aid in detecting mis-/disinformation and the language of deceit in digital media content;Suggests practical computational means to intervene and curtail the global ‘infodemic’ of fake news;Presents how AI can sift, sort, and shuffle digital content, to reduce the amount of content needed to be reviewed by humans.

Health care, education, welfare, law - the perceived success or failure of these social institutions is constantly being debated in the public arena. In this book, Ackoff and Rovin join the discussion, using systems theory to develop new approaches to governance, the structure and function of our cities, and civic leadership in general. Each chapter tackles a different, important and timely issue. The authors develop and present specific solutions, with the intention of starting a national dialogue about the structure and organization of American society. Their redesign, radical in its scope and ambition, draws upon existing technology and social constructs, but provides innovative ways to apply them. As the authors contend, "it is only through creative thought and innovation that our society will be transformed into one that provides a more equitable distribution of wealth, quality of life, and opportunities for development".
